Captain Horace Dale Barton (22 November 1891 – 25 May 1975) was a World War I flying ace credited with 19 aerial victories.

His steady accumulation of single victories saw him become an ace on 6 June, when he defeated an Albatros D.V. His next victory, on 17 June 1918, was his most important, as he helped force down and capture 27-victory ace Kurt Wüsthoff in a new Fokker D.VII. Eventually, scoring single triumphs (except for 15 September, when he scored twice), he raised his count to 19. He single-handedly destroyed five enemies, including one set afire. He shared victories in three cases of destroyed enemy aircraft. He sent down seven foes out of control, though two of those were shared victories. He aided in the capture of two enemy planes. He shot down one balloon by himself, and had help on a second. During World War II, Barton returned to service as an intelligence officer for the South African Air Force. (en)
